This month’s event (27 October) at the Olde Brogue in Great Falls will be sponsoring the Yellow Ribbon Fund.  As you have likely noticed, we have moved towards supporting our country’s service men and women and will look to do so until the war on terror has been brought under control.  Last month’s dinner raised approximately $3500 for Operation Second Chance.  Both these organizations have their own unique way of assisting our injured veterans.  In addition to helping our service men and women, Yellow Ribbon Fund, also provides support to the husbands, wives and other caregivers.  Please come out and show your support.  I have again invited approximately 15 veterans (This Country’s True Heroes) to join us.  As with last month, let me know if you would like to contribute the $25 minimum to reserve the privilege of buying dinner for one of our vets.  I was thrilled with the overwhelming response to this last month with several folks going way beyond the minimum.  Whether you sign up to buy a vet dinner or not, your presence goes a long way towards helping raise funds for the organization and showing that we all care.

We are again doing two seatings (5:30 and 7:30) to accommodate the overwhelming response we have had to the last three events.  Please be sure to make a reservation early since the Snuggery portion of the Old Brogue filled up for both seatings.  Call the Brogue at (703) 759-3309 to do so. Invite you friends and let’s try to fill the entire restaurant this time around!!  The only cost to you is your dinner.

I do want to let everyone know that in addition to my regular sponsors, Adeler Jewelers in Great Falls has signed on to provide a door prize valued at approximately $200 for this and future events.  Thank you Jorge Adeler.
